Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective and staff are clear about their responsibilities for keeping children safe. The manager generally demonstrates good leadership skills and is enthusiastic and passionate about the work that she does. The management team follows thorough recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are suitable for their role. Effective induction and supervision procedures ensure that staff know how to protect children. For instance, they understand the signs that would raise concerns and are able to follow procedures accurately. The manager supports the staff team to develop its skills. For instance, she works alongside team members and demonstrates by example. The manager oversees the risk assessment process to support children's safety. This includes children walking from school. Partnerships with parents are positive and they speak highly of the staff and service, saying that their children make good relationships

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of out-of-school care and are mindful that children may have had a busy day in school. Overall, staff plan good activities that help the children to enjoy their experiences at the club. Children are collected from school by staff with warmth and enthusiasm, and children are clear about what is expected of them. They generally enjoy the activities on offer to them and staff support children to take turns and share. Children demonstrate a good level of concentration with their chosen activities. For example, younger children use their imaginations and physical dexterity to make a rocket from large cardboard boxes. Children are kind and caring towards each other, for example, showing each other how to complete homework or how to use resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy a range of healthy foods, outdoor play and areas to relax in when they feel tired. This helps to support their good health and well-being. Staff are kind and caring, and know the children well. Children form secure attachments to staff and eagerly invite them to join in with their games and activities. They behave well and use good manners. Staff give consistent messages about travelling to the club safely and everyone takes this seriously. For example, the children are clear about the routine when being collected from school and staff regularly take a headcount once collected. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their belongings and self-care. For instance, they hang up coats and bags on arrival and wash hands prior to eating a snack. Staff encourage children's respect for others and are supportive of children teaching each other.
